5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Commentary, February 18, 2003

By 

Molly - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Everything Vegetarian Cookbook: 300 Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Enjoy (Everything (Cooking)) (Paperback)

Even if you never use a single recipe from this book, the amusing commentary blurbs make it worth reading. Jay Weinstein has a great sense of humor which is shown in several little textboxes throughout this cookbook.
By the way, you shouldn't have any problems using recipes from this book. There are many yummy ones to choose from, with clear and easy-to-follow directions, as well as useful information on vegetarianism. I think this is a great book, not just for vegetarians, but for people who have decided to eat healthier by having a few meatless nights, or parents who may be struggiling to find something to cook for their newly vegetarian son or daughter.
Oh, one more plus. This book is NOT filled with exotic expensive items you'll have to raid specialty shops for. You can find most of what you'll need at a regular grocery store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Amazing. Amazing., October 9, 2006

I have never written a review for Amazon before. Never had a reason to. But Everything Vegetarian is simply the most AMAZING cookbook out there. My husband told me that he would be happy to eat vegetarian meals if I fixed them. So, not being a cook in any way, I set out to find recipes I could try. I must have purchased ten cookbooks. Most are decent. Some things good, some things not so good. But EVERY SINGLE recipe in Everything Vegetarian turns out perfectly. Most recipes have a Mediterranean touch, using toasted cumin seeds and the like. And Mr. Weinstein explains clearly each step in the recipe. There is never a question of "What does THAT mean?" or "Where would I find THAT ingredient." He tells you everything. I genuinely wish I could find this man and kiss his feet.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat very healthy. This book has a ton of things I can make and my whole family will eat. Worth the price just for the Saffron Rissotto on Page 139!
